I wuz sittin’ an’ stinkin’ ‘bout life an’ skool an’ things.
Seems like the dragon-teecher turned into a filosopher after the ‘lection!
She sed, “You have to be philosophical about the outcome and look to the future!”
Sounds O.K. to me, but I didn’t unnerstand how filosophy wuz gonna git sumbody more votes than sumbody else!?
Papa sez, “There was a lot of philosophy in play, but many people were not so much interested in thinking, as they were in yes or no answers!”
Granma sez, “Well, they got yes and no answers and let’s see what comes of it?”
Man, grownups can be so komplicated sumtimes!
So, of course the dragon-teecher gits the bright idea to give us sum homework essay, ‘bout money an’ filosophy an’ life an’ wut we think ‘bout all these “kemical kombinations?”
So, after talkin’ with granma, papa an’ mama, here’s wut I cum up wit:
It seems like you need money, an’ lots of it, to live good an’ also git ‘lected! An’ without the big pennies, you don’t git ‘lected to a good life or a public office!
Man, so I guess I’m goin’ to skool to learn sumthin’ to help me for life an’ maybe git ‘lected to office!
But on the other hand, wen my family explains filosophy an’ church an’ stuff to me, then it seems like there are always a lot of other things to konsider!?
Ev’rywhere I look, nuthin’ but komplications!
If we learn an’ think ‘bout stuff, then it helps me an’ other peeple to know wut to do wit money an’ our life, ‘cause we have sum kinda plan, sum kinda map to go by!
So, I’m gonna write for the dragon, that filosophy in life cums first, an’ money cums later. And even if you don’t have much money, if first things cum first, you’re still better off, cause you have a plan for your life.
All this sittin’ an’ stinkin’ is wearin’ me out, so I’m gonna go to sleep an’ plan my life, while I’m dreamin’.
Don’t forget me Santa an’ Happy Holidays to ev’rybody!
I luv you.
G’nite
